Skirmish: TO BE REVEALED (@jem)Liner Notes
I took the #toberevealed #skirmish in the direction of a hidden group that seeks domination. While this may come off as a particular political view, it's more so a story of how any dystopia can take shape. #electronic #synthpop #cyberpunk #industrial #dark #dystopia
Lyrics
We paint the illusion of Golden Dreams Whilst hiding in the Shadows of the Elite Reporting to the masses terror and fear That make you tremble and fall to your feet
We pacify, telling you it will be okay Trust in us, and do as we say We'll keep you safe from those who differ from you They'll only spread evil with their ways of "virtue"
You believed us, and gave us power Now in this time of the Darkest hour The mask comes off, showing our True Form Prejudice and Hate becomes the Norm
We are your New Gods
We separate by race and alignment So you cannot impede our grand assignment For if you all united and fought as One We'd be torn asunder, our efforts undone
We feed on your Fears unfound Fabricating lies with statements unsound Dumb you down to maintain compliance And the intelligent Souls we hunt and silence
We are your New Gods
Worship us

Oooh...dark! Can't wait to hear this matched up to music. And so true: "dumb you down to maintain compliance" "The Mask comes off showing our true form" I am so glad to see so many FAWMers making important statements against the creeping reality of New Gods. Who apparently missed every message in the Bible!
That is dark. And it resonates so loudly in these times.
Such an ominous story. I'd love to hear how you match it up with the sound. Thinking lots of bass.
Such an ominous feel and foreboding tale.It's especially powerful and disturbing when the vocals get distorted and even more creepy. I too felt the subject of the prompt suggested a political direction. Let's all unite and fight as One indeed! thank you for responding to my prompt.
